Aftermarket Narrow front arms

Post by shodog »

Has an aftermarket manufacturer ever made a front arm set that was the same size as the original front arm set? I want to do some hopping up to my graphite car requires narrow arms for the MIP 4wd kit.

I've got Hot Trick front arms on my MIP 4wd and they look/work great.

I think yours would look great with Andy's though as I think you have rear Andy's arms right?

Scr8p's got me covered on a set of andy's front arms. Yesterday I was looking at my graphite car.

As many of you know I am an aftermarket whore so it pained me to build it up with stock parts. Since I will be changing the arms and front knuckles out for black ones, I may just dye the rest of the blue parts black.

One more question. What shocks did the graphite come with? The originals that loaded the o-rings through the bottom, or the more current ones that load them through the shock body?

Pre Team Car Graphites used gold bottom loaders. TQ10's were the only "official" graphite cars to used the old narrow front arms.
